This was Bradleys (son of a couple of volunteers) birthday party, so obviously as it was a childrens party we all had to act like children! After a game of pass the parcel and musical chairs we made a pretty impressive human pyramid!!!
I am not having to miss out completely on great music events. This is a great venue - just like a small greek ampitheatre. This is a senegalese band and they were amazing, mixing African and western music styles.
We can also make our own music! Raising money for the bee-cause. I will try and take more pictures of this place if I go back as it is like a hobbits home! The night involved some good people, food, drink, performance, sing-a-long, tug of war and finally the pushing of cars home as they stuck in sand.
This is the river Gambia. Me, Lucy and Marcus went to Tendaba, a village an hour away from us, on the river. It has a camp with little huts to stay in, a swimming pool and a restaurant. Sat on the pier playing cards into the evening with Pete and his Guests and some american travellers as well.
The Jawneh's oven. They are the local bakers and they let us use our oven which pretty much has just included jacket potatoes into our diet but on one occasion Marcus brought us a goodfellas pizza up from kombo in a cool bag for us to eat whilst watching goodfellas on his projector.
He was very happy! Unfortunately for us Marcus has now left with his projector so its back to small screen and no treats as he was always the provider of good coffee, skittles and obviously witty banter (Im aware Marcus might read this!!)
The closing night at the alliance until after the rainy season.
Although there are lots of very fun pictures on here this is actually how I spend most of my evenings and weekends. Sat reading a book, watching a storm, listening to music or playing with the children.
